Questions & Answers about سندای ناقص باید بایگانی بشن.
Why is the word for documents written as sanadā here instead of sanadhā?
In colloquial Farsi, the plural suffix -hā often drops the "h" sound, leaving just -ā. So sanadhā becomes sanadā. To connect this to the adjective nāghes (incomplete), we add a "y" sound to prevent two vowels from clashing, making it sanadā-ye nāghes.
How does the passive subjunctive work in bāyegāni beshan?
The lesson shows that passives are generally formed with a past participle plus the subjunctive of shodan. However, for compound verbs like bāyegāni kardan (to file), you don't need a past participle; you simply swap kardan for shodan. Because the sentence uses bāyad (must), it triggers the subjunctive mood, turning shodan into beshavand, which shortens to beshan in everyday speech.
Documents are inanimate objects. Shouldn't the verb be singular (beshe) instead of plural (beshan)?
In strict formal grammar, inanimate plural subjects often take a singular verb. However, in spoken and modern Farsi, it is very common and completely natural to use a plural verb (beshan) to match a plural subject, whether the subject is alive or not.
Can bāyad (must) be placed at the very beginning of the sentence?
Yes! You can absolutely say bāyad sanadā-ye nāghes bāyegāni beshan. Moving bāyad after the subject is simply a stylistic choice that puts slightly more emphasis on the "incomplete documents" themselves rather than on the obligation.
